A fundamental question for talking about bioethics, is: to what ethical code we are appealing?
between individuals and groups whose moral judgments conflict. We are merely left with
conflicting opinions." (Francis Schaeffer, How Should We Then Live? p. 145)
"[W]e can rationally discuss and argue with each other about right and wrong without
such judgments have equal validity. For to claim the latter logically leads one to the
bizarre judgment that Mother Teresa is no more and no less virtuous than Adolf Hitler." Frank Beckwith
In 1857, a certain controversial issue was starting to be debated. Dred Scott was being told by the court that he was not a citizen and therefore did not have certain rights. Lincoln called slavery a great evil, but Douglas replied each state should decide moral issues for themselves. Lincoln referenced Mark 3:25 in saying "A house divided against itself cannot stand."
If I may point out something. It has been said that slavery "fueled the economy" , but would we agree in hindsight this hardly justifies it?
Rep. Xavier Becerra pointed out in a recent interview that almost 500,000 new jobs were created in the health care sector since the passage of the Affordable Care. Is there the potential, that in hindsight, we will hardly find this a justiciation, as well?
